Frequently asked questions
How do I recover a corrupted The Last of Us PC save?
The game writes .save-backup copies next to each save. Delete the broken .save files, rename the backups to the original names, and reload. Copy everything elsewhere first.
Do saves sync with Steam Cloud?
Yes, when enabled. The local savedata folder is still the live copy the game reads, so back that up before reinstalls regardless of cloud status.
